Camp Mende, Ailmlrnl, Mil., April 8.
Work was resumed nt Little l'enn to
toy, but tho 10,000 men who mado the
Ion hike to llaltlmorc uro nursing tired
Bhln and fees. Not a man will admit
Jhat much, but It Is true, and lf not a
bit Burpi.dlnsr, for the hlko to Unltlmoro
and return, coupled with tho natade In
that city on Saturday, was a tiring
stunt
The soldlcrx returned to camp yester
day and mado a record that probably
will stand : for twenty mllen wero cov
ered In n little more than seven hour.
and In that time the embarco trench
flehtera took flftv minutes for lunch.
Only a handful of men wero compelled
to fall out of line, and they were bun
dled Into nmbtil.incctt. The 315tli In
fantry ("Philadelphia's own") was tho
first unit In tho division to reach home,
and as tho regiment sauntered on the
reservation the hoys sreeted their com
rades left to guard the barracks by Rins
ing camp boiiks. Then came the 310th
Infantry, an ull-Ponnnylvanliv leclment,
commanded by Colonel Oscar J. Charles.
These regiments were camped much
rearer the city line than other units and
had the satisfaction of btatlnp other
regiments on the "back-home" hike The
Baltimore camps were Irft behind at
7:30 o'clock and at J 30 the 315th
bowled Into Camp Slcade
Considering that the men carried Held
packs weighing fifty pounds each, tho
march homo was executed In wonder
ful time.
General Kuhn was warm In his pralso
today concerning tho conduct of tho
mtsn In Baltimore and their good work
on tho road. Colonel Hosenbaum, of tho
31Sth, and Charles of tho 316th, aro
mighty proud of their boys, and today
asserted that for hiking tho men uro
equal to any soldiers In tho wilcc of
Vnclo Sam Lieutenant Colonel Alden C
Knowles, of tho 310th Infantry, who has
hod twenty years' service, paid a warm
compliment to the I'ensylvanlans by say
lng that they hiked over the roads with
as much "pep" and "snap" as any
Outfit of seasoned regulars
"Not a grouch In the riglment," bald
Colonel Knowles. "And everybody Is
pager to resumo the regular training
program."
Colonel Thomai V Durrah, of the
814th Infantry, nnother Pennsylvania
regiment, paid a similar trlbuto to his
wen.
Two dogs were so tired when Shipley I
was reached yesterday that they pive
up mo gnosx unu ruuu uuuiu in hiiiuu
lances. "Phlllle" mascot of the 315th
Infantry, trotted home with the soldiers,
but Is taking life quite easily today.
"Since leaving the camp last Thurs
day morning," said Captain t'red V.
Patterson, of Company A, "our mascot
has been much In the limelight. She
got more publicity than any man In
tho division, with the exception of tho
generals and colonels "

"But," says the newspaper. "It Is well
to remember that Mr. Wilson will soon
come forward with another peace

The Kreuzzeltung says: "The U

to enter tho war and we supplied it.
It enabled President Wilson effec
tually to conceal his) true wnr motives.
Wo thoroughly misread American sen

believe American help can bring vie

says:
"America's economic nsslstnnco now

LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE
HITS ITS STRIDE TODAY
Washington, April S.
Kncouragcd by the tremendous en
thusiasm with which tho Liberty

of salesmen ever assembled to further
a single entei prise In the history of
the country assembled this morning
and inaugurated the tlrst day's belling

Supplementing the efforts of the
sales department will be the largest
forco of publicists ever enlisted in a
single cause. Initial reports from everv

fect that the first blast of the pub
licity campaign on Saturday fur out
stripped ony previous Liberty Loan
efforts. The oountrv Is ablaze with
posters and other outdoor advertising
material, and llio newspapers und all
other channels of publicity aro co
operating wonderfully.
Secretary Lano Issued a statement
In behalf of tho loan that might stand

statement ns to what may bo ex
pected from tho America- peoplu dur
ing tho campaign,
"Tho year of war lins crystallized
the spirit of our people." tho Secretary
said; "wo know why wo aro lighting
and tn what end. From a standing
start we have In one year mudewjirog

of life of a democracy do not lend

ing tho third Liberty Loan campa'gn
here, said; "This message from thn

The Secretary nsked h's mull- ic to

April," the opening day of the third
Liberty Loan drive, would go down In

here will bo morn than 3000 experienced
bond salesmen besides Hoy Scouts nnd
school children, numbering approximate,
ly luo.000
tratlon forces worked on reluctant or
hostile Senators.
Senator Overman, In charge of the
bill, was optimistic Hint a vote would
bo taken beforo adjournment tonight.
While debate continued members of tho
Sennte wero still receiving protests that
there aro now laws umJor which many
pro-Germans can bo prosecuted. The
Grand Jury In Tuczon. Ariz, will close
Its session on Wednesday and can hand
down some, indictments If the measuro
become a law before that time, accord
ing to messages received by Senator
Overman.
Other messages to the North Carolina
Senntor threaten that people of some
sections cannot bo held in licck much
longer anrt that unless drastic laws are
passed quickly there will bo recurrences
of the Colllnsvllle lynching of last week.
When the hill now pending Is llnally
disposed of, Senator Ovetman has a
conferenco report to Ftibmlt to the Sen
ate which will also deal harshly with
those who oppose the alms of this Gov
ernment In the war. This conference
report cnrrlcs an nmendment which
prevents destruction of and tampering
with property. It was originally drawn
to aim at sabotage, but has been wid
ened until It Includes not only destruc
tion by Intent, but deeds of omission. It
also deals with those convicted of poi
soning food.
According to Senator Overman there
Is no law at present on the Federal
statutes which makes It possible to
prosecute those who have put ground
and broken glass In foods.
Conferees on the agricultural appro
priation bill nro expected to agree this
weik the bono of contention between
them being the Goro amendment for

r.oiionil Staff ofllcers say that tne
American people, must bo patient and
await tho outcome with confidence.
Statements mado ortlclally by General
Pershing and 5tnjnr General 5tnrch re
flect this confidence without divulging
why. Their reasons nrc presumably
linked with prospective moves about
which the public may not bo Informed
In advance.
It is explained here that tho arrival
of American troops on tho Plcardy plains
has far more mllltnry significance than
appears on the surface. The outcomo of
the ptcsent fighting depends to a largo
extent on tho matter of reervo forces
which cttlnr side can throw Into tho
fray.

In theso circumstances, 100,000 Amer
ican troops, whllo not a largo number
of fighting men in Itseir, looms largo aim
all-Important nt a time when the rival
forces engaged ate more or less evenly
balanced. Besides, the number of troops
which the present participation of the
United States will release from imme
diate service Is admittedly nearer 500,
000 than 100,000.
Of particular Importance In the opin
ion of General Staff ofllcers may be tho
fact that tho Get man high lotnmaiid did
not calculate on America's Jumping Into
the thick of the tight at this time. Of.
flclal reports received at tho War De
partment havo mado It clear that tier
many made her rrlve now in order to
exert maximum mlllt.irv pressure while
her enemies were at their low ebb and
presumably befote aid could bo tendered.

This is Your War
Your Country represents the toil, sacrifice and
struggle of past generations of Americans. They won
its freedom, preserved its integrity and handed it
down to you as a priceless heritage and sacred trust.
If the Government asked you to contribute your
share of the cost of this War as a gift, you would
have no just cause for complaint. This is your
Country and it is to your interest to protect your
property, your home and your family.
A Liberty Bond takes us to the front trenches
just as sure as the Polar Star takes us North.
Denominations of 50 and up. Any bank
or trust company will explain details,
and arrange payments you can meet.
The Franklin Sugar Refining Company
ANNOUNCEMENT
OUR Government has requested that we- put at the disposal of
the War Department our entire output of the "makings"
"BULL" DURHAM tobacco.
And we have complied fully, gladly. For whatever the Gov
ernment wants, whatever it needs, it must have from us and from
you fully and with a generous heart.
We have been sending immense quantities of "Bull" to our men
at the front, and at the same time trying to supply consumers at home.
But now we are asked to give all our output: 36,000,000 sacks,
2,000,000 lbs., 100 carloads of "BULL" DURHAM every month.
This call means more than just huge figures to me and I know it
will mean more than figures to the hundreds of thousands of men every
where in the country who "roll their own" and who look upon that
little muslin sack of good old "Bull" as a personal, everyday necessity.
It means that the Government has found that our fighting men
need the "makings".
But, if "Bull" is a necessity to you, here, in the peaceful pursuit of
your daily life, how much greater its necessity to those splendid
Americans who have gone to fight for you to win this war for you.
I know that you will think of them as I do only of them. I know
there will not be a single complaint. I know that you will give up your
share of "Bull", however long you have enjoyed it, however close it is
to you, as you will give up anything you have if it is made clear to you
that our forces over there need it.
That the Government has requested the whole output of "Bull",
the night and day output of all of our factories, must make this abso
lute need clear to you.
And I know that you will not forget the little muslin sack gone
for the present on its mission of hope and inspiration to our boys in
the trenches.
"Bull" will come back, with ribbons of honor. Have no fear.
